Headlight covers

I want some tinted hedlight covers for my 2005 sv650s.

1.) Are they legal? whats the crack?
2.) Are they cool or not cool
3.) Cheapest i found were £40 on ebay, where can i get them cheaper.

someone said skidmax make em?

obviousley not gonna use them at night.

i had a blue one on my gixer but just knew i was gonna get tugged so flogged mine on ebay too i dont think you need protectors for plastic headlights.

i think iv seen clear or yellow tint ones that are road legal but the headlights plastic anyway so not sure whether its worth it?

looks cheap tbh. stick without 'em and save ya money.

I remember seeing a while back some headlight protectors that were made of a fine mesh and coloured.

During the day, with lights off, they look solid. With the light on, the proximity to the light means that the light output isn't effected so they just look and work like normal headlights.

For a good comparison, have a look at the front of your microwave, light on/light off. Similar principle (but I know thats not what the mesh is there for before someone else says)

my mate has solid black ones with holes cut in them on his yellow sv1000, runs his main beam all the time you can see him coming a mile off but it dosent dazzel you! he has velco pads on them so he can remove them if he gets caught out in the dark, looks ok on his bike,

if done well they can look cool, i saw a zx10 last summer, black wth black covers, made it look like a full race bike when he was riding it.

go for it if you like them. scott

i had some for mine and gave them away as they were crap. Mine were black tint and I IMHO they just make you LESS visible.
